A Woman Worth Billions Dated the Wrong Brother novel Chapter 235

“If Jason was hidden locally, then perhaps you were too.”

Which meant he shifted his focus.

Away from international conspiracies.

Toward local enemies.

I couldn’t even blame him.

It made sense.

“What about the governor?”

Grandfather smiled faintly.

“That part is almost funny.”

Considering everything else, I doubted that.

“He wasn’t searching for you.”

That wasn’t surprising.

“He was searching for treasure.”

I blinked.

“What?”

Grandfather laughed.

“The mine.”

A pause.

“He heard stories.”

Another pause.

“Legends about rare gems hidden in the mountains.”

I immediately thought of the alexandrite.

The governor had been treasure hunting.

And somehow found me instead.

“He decided to visit the castle on a whim.”

A pause.

“And there you were.”

The absurdity of it made me shake my head.

My entire life had changed because one curious businessman decided to chase a rumor.

“What about the owners?”

Grandfather smiled softly.

The castle belonged to an elderly couple.”

I remembered the contract.

The strange clauses.

The preservation requirements.

“They claimed their family once served the Ember family.”

A chill ran through me.

The Ember family again.

Every road seemed to lead back to them.

“When they learned your story, they became very attached to you.”

I frowned.

“Attached?”

Grandfather nodded.

“They met you several times afterward.”

That surprised me.

I had no memory of them.

“They believed your appearance at the castle wasn’t an accident.”

A pause.

“They called it fate.”

That sounded exactly like something old aristocrats would say.

Grandfather smiled.

“When they updated their estate documents, they added a clause.”

My stomach tightened.

“The land would first be offered to you.”

A pause.

“Or me.”

Another pause.

“For the lowest legal price.”

I stared at him.

The castle.

The mine.

The land.

All of it.

Waiting for decades.

Waiting for us.
